Apollo One²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: M Harley| T: P Charalambous & J Clutterbuck| OR: 104| C| D

11/4

11/1, career best when winning 8-runner listed race here (7f) 27 days ago by short head from Megallan, well ridden. Lightly raced and may do better still, so can't be discounted from stall 2.

Form: 1361-1

Bakersboy¹¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Rossa Ryan| T: Tom Dascombe| OR: 91

40/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 20/1, 1½ lengths fifth of 7 to Victory Heights in minor event at Wolverhampton (6.1f), slowly away. Off 118 days. Very hard to make a case for.

Form: 335-

Bravado³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: F Norton| T: C & M Johnston| OR: 93| CD

12/1

Latest win here in January. 4/1, fourth of 5 in minor event at Newcastle (6f) 38 days ago. More required in this company, but could have a useful tactical position.

Form: 11-134

Diligent Harry²³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: A Kirby| T: C G Cox| OR: 93| BF| D

2/1

Landed his first two starts in good style, then finished well when narrow second of 8 in handicap at this C&D 23 days ago. Highly progressive to date so can up his game again to resume winning ways.

Form: 112

Mighty Gurkha^b⁶⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: Hollie Doyle| T: A Watson| OR: 103| CD

5/1

Useful colt. C&D winner. Didn't need to improve to win 5-runner minor event at Kempton (6f, 11/4) 67 days ago by neck from Zamaani. Likeable sort with excellent claims.

Form: 61002-1

Victory Heights¹¹⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: L Morris| T: J Tate| OR: 97| D

22/1

Useful colt. Career best when winning 7-runner minor event (11/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) by nose from Mighty Gurkha. Off 118 days. Not certain to uphold the form wit that rival on 7 lb worse terms.

Form: 682311-

Water Of Leith⁴⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: J F Egan| T: R Menzies| OR: 90| BF| D

50/1

Two wins from 3 runs last year. 5/4, last of 3 in handicap at this C&D (AW) 48 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Jim Goldie. Others make more appeal.

Form: 611-3

Yazaman^b²⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: S De Sousa| T: W J Haggas| OR: 94

14/1

Temperamental sort. 3¾ lengths seventh of 8 to Apollo One in listed race at this course (7f, AW, 11/1) 27 days ago, left poorly placed. Blinkers back on. Others preferred.

Form: 62423-7

(4)

Zamaani^p1³⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: James Doyle| T: S & E Crisford| OR: 98| BF| D

13/2

Useful gelding. Visored for 1st time, creditable second of 5 in minor event at Newcastle (6f, 7/4) 38 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Could get involved if everything drops right.

Form: 5234-22

Silent Queen^h¹⁵

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jason Hart| T: G Boughey| OR: 84| D

125/1

Fairly useful filly. Latest win at Chelmsford City in February. 53/10, well-beaten tenth of 11 to Hastalavistababy in listed race at Chantilly (5.5f, heavy) 15 days ago. Up against it.

Form: 0-17310

Forecasts

Diligent Harry (2/1), Apollo One (11/4), Mighty Gurkha (5/1), Zamaani (13/2), Bravado (12/1), Yazaman (14/1), Victory Heights (22/1), Bakersboy (40/1), Water Of Leith (50/1), Silent Queen (125/1)

DILIGENT HARRY was arguably unfortunate not to maintain his winning run when a close second over C&D last time and, with further progress on the cards, he could have enough to see off Mighty Gurkha unless that rival gets his own way at the head of affairs. Recent listed scorer Apollo One is also a threat.
